Ultra® 3500kg GVW Car Transporter

The Ultra® is a lightweight, purpose-built vehicle transporter for professional operators who require a generous usable payload while remaining within the 3,500kg GVW category.

The Ultra® has an approximate kerb weight from 1,900kg, providing a theoretical payload of up to approximately 1,600kg. The final usable payload depends on the completed vehicle specification and must allow for the driver, fuel, passengers, equipment and any optional features fitted.

The Ultra® is suitable for many city cars, small to mid-sized hatchbacks and some compact SUVs, provided the vehicle being carried falls within the transporter’s available payload, axle-weight and dimensional limits. Actual vehicle weight must always be checked, particularly for hybrid and electric models, as these can be significantly heavier than similarly sized petrol or diesel vehicles.

Yes. The deck and ramp configuration is designed to accommodate many vehicles with low front spoilers. The standard 8-foot load-certified aluminium ramps provide a practical loading angle, and optional aluminium helper ramps can be added where additional clearance is required.

The extended wheelbase improves weight distribution across the front and rear axles. This helps operators make effective use of the available payload and supports more stable driving characteristics when the transporter is loaded or unladen.

The Ultra® combines lightweight construction with a purpose-designed AL-KO chassis and extended wheelbase. Compared with a conventional L3-based transporter, this can provide improved payload efficiency, better load distribution and a chassis configuration developed specifically for vehicle transportation.

The Ultra® is available using Fiat Ducato or Peugeot Boxer base vehicles fitted with a lightweight, galvanised AL-KO chassis conversion.

The standard specification includes eight surface-mounted securing points and vehicle securing straps. Punched decking for over-wheel securing straps can also be specified as an option.

Yes. An electric winch system can be added to assist with loading non-running vehicles or vehicles that are difficult to position safely under their own power.

Standard equipment includes 8-foot load-certified aluminium ramps, an extended wheelbase, a lightweight galvanised chassis, steel torsion bar rear suspension, eight surface-mounted securing points, vehicle securing straps and an aluminium front crash bar.

Options include an electric winch system, aluminium helper ramps, punched decking for over- wheel securing straps, a closed deck, lockable storage locker, compact LED light bar, LED work lights and rear parking sensors.

As the vehicle is plated at 3,500kg maximum authorised mass, it can normally be driven on a standard Category B car licence. Drivers and operators remain responsible for checking their individual licence entitlement and any other legal requirements relevant to the way the vehicle will be used.

Lead times vary according to chassis availability, the selected specification and the current AKFS production schedule. Customers should speak with the AKFS Product Specialists for an up-to- date lead-time estimate based on their requirements.
